What happen to my bunny

well, the obvious that can be seen is loss of fur on the feet right? apart from that what else can you describe? can you provide more details such as:
- what else do you see on the feet? is it just fur loss? or are there any crusts forming on the fur loss area as well?
- the condition of the skin at that spot?
- the living conditions of the rabbit. where does your rabbit spend most of the time at. how's the cage like.

more information would be useful

definitely mites

Dear All TS,

Im just about to start to pet my 1st rabbit, ( due to my gf ), as she is seeking for smth small and cute with white fur.
so i had did some survey for rabbit, found that lionhead, and angora are smth like what my gf asking...
but as im new to rabbit, im seeking advice from all of the pros here... any type or rabbit suitable for beginer??
cause i really dont want to see a dead rabbit... >.<" im still doing studies on rabbit... please advice.

Sincere
Zack

the smallest breed would be Netherland Dwarf.
from my reading (not my experience), the most tame and easy to control is Holland Lop. but i am not sure how true it is.
for beginner, Angora might be little bit hard coz their fur is quite troublesome to handle.
but they are cute too

as for me, i m looking for mixed breed Dwarf Angora (Netherland Dwarf + Angora) but kinda difficult to find right now

First thing is, make sure to get your rabbit from a reputable sources. If you visit a pet store, do your research first and make sure to ask the staff questions on the rabbit, to ensure that they know what they're talking about.

the most common dwarf breeds here are the Holland Lop, Dwarf Hotot and Netherland Dwarfs. You can google up the photos of them to compare.

like what suadrif mentioned, Holland Lops tends to be the most relaxed of the 3 breeds and is likely the easiest to handle, but this is just in general. at the end of the day it still depends on the individual character of each rabbit too. these 3 r all short haired rabbits, which is probably easier for a beginner to handle. but do take note that when they molt, they can really shed fur like crazy too.

Now, for the colour that you're looking at, white is the least common that I've seen of the holland lop (although they do exist). its far easier to find white Netherland Dwarfs, and Dwarf Hotots are always white in colour (although Dwarf Hotots are quite rare recently here)

My advice is for bro zack210 to get those bunnies direct from reputable breeders (who doesnt breed bunnies for $) as the one from petstores "require" u to send it to vet immediately after getting it.

My first bunny died within a week because i was careless and din send it to the vet to check, by d time i send him there (after noticing d wet poops, diarrhea), it is already too late. Stomach upset is bunny's worst enemy. Bought it from d huge petstore at ikano centre.

Current bunny who is healthy n active, that i got from pet's more in tropicana has mange (mites) prob due to poor living condition in d store. She was only there for a week before i got her (at 5 weeks old) and took her 10 weeks to completely recover from mange prob (7 injections at once a week and lotion for her ears). I sent her to vet d moment i brought her home.

I think you can try to look for good breeders from http://www.petfinder.my/

Looks like Rex?

Wah! Ur rabbit n mine looks almost d same with some differences in tail and ears
Thanks for the info bro my current bunny's very healthy and damn fussy abt food, no fresh vege nor fruits. She only like dry food which include cardbox n tat is why i dun allow her to play with cardbox like a lot of the recommendations online LOL she will chew and swallow...
M extra careful with my current bunny's health condition, 1 vitamin c tablet and some treats daily

how many kg is yours right now?
i think mine is about 0.5kg but the male one is 2kg, almost 1 year already

Have not weight my bunny but shud b around 2kg coz she is heavier than d last time I weight her in clinic, around 1.2kg LOL Tat was 4 mths ago n my bunny is 9mths old now LOL very fat for a netherland dwarf but healthy

Forgive the other ear as she was distracted with the sound from the other direction.

From my research, this breed looks like Rex eh?

Hi everyone.
I'm and my family going to oversea soon. So I'm looking for someone whom kind to look after my rabbit for 10days.

Or the last option, a good pet hotel recommendation?

have you taken your bunny to the vet?
it has been more than a week.

if you don't wanna spend or also encourage pet shops and their pet mills i suggest you go www.petfinder.com.my and adopt one.
usually they are in good health
i would suggest post like this as oppose to some post which ask you to pay......those sometimes i suspect are breeders too

some kinda rex mix
